Free Southern California Best Practices Recreational Fishing Workshop Set For August 10, 2013

Saturday, August 10, recreational fishermen, professional fishing guides, fisheries managers and top marine scientists will gather in Southern California to exchange ideas on increasing the effectiveness of “catch & release” angling. This free, open-to-the public event is being held in conjunction with the summer-long Sanctuary Classic fishing/photo contest and is a joint effort of The Sportfishing Conservancy, The National Marine Fishery Service and the Channel Islands National Marine Sanctuary.

The Sportfishing Conservancy Survey

Please take a few moments to share your fishing experience with us. Your answers will help in providing a more accurate picture of what we do, how, when and where we do it. Your results will be bundled with all others, then shared with you along with other participants. The Department of Fish and Wildlife is concerned about the drop in fishing license sales and we are looking for baseline information before seeking solutions to this. Your answers will remain anonymous.
